Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
- Coat the kielbasa: Place the sliced kielbasa in a large mixing bowl. Pour the glaze over the kielbasa and toss to coat each piece evenly.
- Arrange on the baking sheet: Spread the glazed kielbasa slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the kielbasa halfway through, until the glaze is bubbly and the kielbasa is caramelized and slightly crispy around the edges.
- Serve: Remove the kielbasa from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
